The Facts
On September 22, 2026, Galerie Max Hetzler announced Vivien Zhang's site-specific intervention 'Second Order' at The Arts Club, London. The exhibition transforms the club into an immersive environment extending Zhang's painting practice beyond the canvas. It features a collection of new paintings and paper 'maquettes,' alongside specially commissioned artist wallpaper, creating a layered world of repetition and shifting forms.
The Signal
For collectors and curators, this intervention marks Zhang's continued exploration of spatial and perceptual boundaries, moving painting into an experiential realm. The commission at a historic private members' club signals a growing trend of contemporary artists engaging with unconventional, non-gallery venues. It also underscores Galerie Max Hetzler's support for immersive, site-specific projects that challenge traditional display formats.
